Mass Bay Community College is an accredited two-year college with campuses in Framingham, Ashland and Wellesley. The Framingham campus is located in the former Farley Middle School, next door to Fuller Middle School and across the street from McCarthy Elementary School.

Students attending Mass Bay receive academic preparation in order to transfer to a four-year college or university, or for career preparation or job retraining.

The college offers an open admissions policy. More than ten percent of its students come from Framingham, and almost half the students attend evening classes.
